Prior to my jump into software engineering, I had a large focus in both retail and the food service industry. Coming from those environments, I learned early the importance of teamwork and communication. I've had a passion for coding and web development since I was a teenager and kept coming back to it throughout the years. Through talking with people in the industry and exploring on my own, I discovered that software engineering is more than meets the eye and would combine my love of learning, software, and teamwork. Upon completing my time at NSS, I hope to become a better engineer and a better teammate.
